Table 1. Instructional sequence and learning activities

Phase Session(s) Focus topic Key learning activities Instructional materials & sources
Introduction to hazards 1 Asteroid impacts & prior conceptions Pre-survey; discussion of hazards, science, and science fiction Slides, pre-survey questionnaire
Energy & technological risk 2 Nuclear energy Exploration of atomic structure, nuclear power generation, radioactive waste; discussion of risks, benefits, and ethical trade-offs Slides, worksheets, guided discussion
Environmental adaptation (preparation) 3 Built environments & environmental response Classroom instruction on architecture, materials, and environmental adaptation Slides, worksheets, guided discussion
Environmental adaptation (field-based) 4 Deoksugung Palace Field investigation of architectural features responding to sunlight, temperature, and seasonal change; connection to solar energy and geomagnetic protection Field activity worksheets, observation tasks, group discussion and presentation
Climate systems 5 Ice ages & climate change Examination of climate systems, rapid climate change events, and geoengineering through models and discussion Visual models, slides, guided discussion
Constrained imagination (hard SF) 6 Gravity & planetary conditions Reading and discussion of mission of gravity; analysis of how gravity shapes biology, culture, and technology Hard SF novel excerpts, guided discussion
Speculative science 7 Terraforming Comparison of planetary data; discussion of environmental constraints; terraforming attempts using simulations Slides, planetary data, Universal Sandbox 2, group discussion and presentation
Time & causality 8–9 Time travel & scientific limits Exploration of causality, paradoxes, and scientific constraints using special relativity and SF examples Slides, SF examples guided discussion
Scenario design introduction 10 Science fiction & storytelling Instruction on science fiction, loglines, three-act structure, branching narratives, and game storytelling Presentation materials, structured design activities
Collaborative scenario construction 11+ SF game scenario design Collaborative writing and revision of a branching SF game scenario grounded in scientific constraints Scenario-writing scaffolds, shared documents
Hazard worldbuilding 11+ Integrated hazard reasoning Development of hazards, characters, decision points involving geomagnetic weakening, atmospheric loss, nuclear systems, and planetary settlement Final scenario log (primary analytic artifact)
The table summarizes the instructional sequence, session topics, and learning activities implemented in the ten-week science enrichment program. The final collaboratively produced science-fiction (SF) scenario log served as the primary data source for analysis.
